A little girl, a little small for her ageA little too slow for the field day raceMomma's waiting at the finish lineAnd wipes the teardrops from her eyesShe says, 'You did just fine honey, that's okay'Sometimes life's just that way'You're gonna lose the race from time to time'But you're always gonna find

'You can't lose me'Bet your life'I am here and I will always be'Just a wish away'Wherever you go'No matter how far'My love is where you are'You won't be lost if you believe'You can't lose me'

Momma use to say 'Girl it won't be long''Til it's time to go out on your own'Chase your dreams find your place in life'I know you'll do just fine'When that day finally cameThere were things she needed to but could not saySo I whispered softly as I wipedThe tears from Momma's eyes

'You can't lose me'Bet your life'I am here and I will always be'Just a wish away'Wherever I go'No matter how far'My love is where you are'You won't be lost if you believe'You can't lose me'
